The resources are not more important than the teacher’s creativity. Teachers should use their own creativity and imagination during teaching. They should not be contented with the teaching learning material available to them. Rather, they should try to make material themselves as well. The educators at early childhood education institute should be given special training. The teachers should be given a teaching guide, which will surely be helpful for them to teach.
The future researchers can work on the effectiveness of using these recommended instructional strategies on child’s learning. Future work can also be done on identifying more effective instructional strategies for early childhood educators. The future researchers can work on instructional strategies for primary, secondary, graduate and post graduate level teachers.
